Injectors in LS?

When I put on my cai should I put in bigger injectors or not? Would bigger injectors make a noticable change, and would I need to do any type of tuning?

for a 2.2, they're not needed, and even if they were... you couldn't tune for them.

No, you shouldn't have to.

An intake isn't changing airflow to an extreme of leaning out your engine & maxing out your injectors.

What size did you change to?

What are you using to control them?

^^ I noticed that too.

You absolutely should not put different injectors into a 2.2L. There is no way to tune for them currently. If you ever change injectors, you also HAVE to change your tune. For the member above that says he did it, you are damaging your engine. You do not have more power, you just think you do. I'm not being an ass, I'm being serious.

As for the original poster, enjoy your intake! It's an easy, fun mod that you don't have to do anything else for.
